SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDaddy.com(R), a leading
global Web hosting provider, introduces a new hosting community,
Metropolis. The new hosting community allows anyone with a Go Daddy(R) Web
hosting account to install, manage, rate and review third-party hosted
applications, offering a personal touch in the big-city hosting world.
At launch, Metropolis offers more than 30 free software titles for
immediate installation to Linux(R) or Windows(R) based hosting accounts.
From blogs and forums to galleries and wikis, users learn about software
options from other community members and share their experience with
reviews and ratings.
Users can explore and research each application and easily find where
other Go Daddy users have found success. With Metropolis, Go Daddy brings
together owners of more than one million shared hosting accounts, affording
each an opportunity to promote software in a community of like users.
"We're committed to making things easy for our customers," said Go
Daddy President and COO Warren Adelman. "Metropolis is a social tool. It
helps users manage applications, but the key feature is the venue it
creates for our customers to share experiences and make recommendations for
others."
With Metropolis, there's no need for webmasters to download software,
upload content or modify configuration files. The interface offers
simplified installation and configuration; users answer a few basic
questions and Go Daddy does the rest. Typical installations are active in
minutes and an uninstall option is just a few clicks away.
